First, what are the classifications of food processing equipment

Food processing equipment, that is, food machinery, is a general term for all mechanical equipment that processes food raw materials into finished or semi-finished products. So do you know what are the classifications of food processing equipment?

Food processing equipment can be divided into:

1. General equipment: quick-freezing equipment, cleaning equipment, drying equipment, sterilization equipment, filling equipment, water treatment equipment, sorting equipment, extraction equipment, heat exchange equipment, transmission equipment.

2. Special equipment: leisure food equipment, vegetable processing equipment, fruit processing equipment, meat processing equipment, baking equipment, aquatic product processing equipment, fruit and vegetable processing equipment, dairy product equipment, condiment processing equipment, beverage processing equipment.

3. Test equipment: measuring instruments, measuring equipment.

4. Packaging equipment: packaging machine, sealing machine, packaging equipment, labeling equipment, filling equipment, wrapping equipment.

Second, what are the selection principles of food processing equipment

1. Technical

The equipment should adapt to the requirements of technical indicators of raw materials and finished products, should meet the requirements of product process design, and the noise, vibration and pollution generated should comply with relevant national policies.

For example, the noise of equipment installed indoors should be less than 85 decibels. For those equipment that produces waste residue, waste liquid, waste gas and other pollution, it should also understand whether there is a supporting treatment device, and select it in accordance with environmental protection standards.

2. Security

The equipment should have good safety performance to ensure the safety and hygiene of personnel and processed products.

3. Reliability

The equipment should be able to operate stably and reliably to ensure that the entire production line continues to work normally, and the actual production capacity meets or slightly exceeds the design requirements. In order to ensure the reliability of equipment operation, attention should be paid to obtaining sufficient relevant information to be purchased when collecting information.

Such as: the equipment has been sold to those users, the operation of the sold equipment: in the purchase contract stipulates detailed technical parameters, such as: main structure material, main working parts material and processing technology, main control element performance, brand, manufacturer, etc.

4. Applicability

It is necessary to clarify the requirements of the equipment for the site, power supply, heat source, water source, vacuum compressed air and climatic conditions. When it is necessary to work with the post-process equipment, attention should be paid to whether its signal input and output match, whether the spatial connection is reasonable, whether the production capacity is matched, and other factors.

For example, when purchasing a fully automatic filling machine on the filling production line, it is not only necessary to consider whether the number of filling per hour and the maximum production volume of the enterprise are consistent with the filling capacity of the filling machine. At the same time, several processes after bottle filling, such as capping, capping, labeling, packaging, etc., must match the capacity of the filling machine.

5. Economy

The lower the price of equipment with similar main indicators such as production capacity and technical performance, the lower the operation and maintenance cost, the better its economy.

Considering its economy, first of all, it must be effective under the premise of technical performance, production capacity, safety, reliability, etc., and secondly, it is necessary to comprehensively consider one-time input and operating costs, consider the input-output ratio, and strive to achieve less input, high output, high efficiency, and achieve good economic results.

6. Advanced

When the main indicators can meet the requirements, the equipment with advanced technology should be selected as much as possible, and the obsolete equipment should not be selected, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the operation and maintenance and the supply of accessories.

7. The strength of equipment manufacturers and middlemen

Try to choose manufacturers and middlemen with long production history, large business scale, after-sales service and good reputation, and avoid as much as possible the maintenance and after-sales service of equipment due to problems in the operation of manufacturers and intermediaries.
